| Genetic Assessment of Striped Newt Populations in Florida | CWT1516-05 | 2015 | Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission | $10,320 | Genetic analyses highlighted limited gene flow between ponds and increased genetic differentiation with distance. Eastern Florida populations showed higher genetic diversity, while Georgia populations faced extinction vulnerability, emphasizing the need for further research. | |||
| Health and Genetic Structure of Florida's American Eels | CWT1516-06 | 2015 | Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission | $8,500 | The project addressed knowledge gaps about the American Eel in Florida. Surveys from 2014-2016 provided baseline data on eel biology, health, and genetics. Findings suggested a lack of genetic differentiation across Florida, informing future conservation strategies. | |||
| 2016 Python Challenge | CWT1516-07 | 2015 | Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission | $78,000 | The Python Challenge 2016 increased public engagement in removing invasive Burmese pythons. The event included educational efforts, a removal competition, and an awareness festival. Data from necropsies and capture locations informed management decisions. | |||
| Northern African Python Eradication | CWT1516-08 | 2015 | Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission | $63,000 | During FY15/16, two Fish and Wildlife Technicians conducted surveys for Nonnative Amphibians and Reptiles but found none. Outreach efforts and opportunistic interactions led to the removal of two nonnative constrictor snakes. Systematic surveys recorded no snakes, possibly due to a small population. | |||
| Argentine Black and White Tegu Control and Management | CWT1516-09 | 2015 | Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission | $16,000 | The project optimized trapping methods, studied diet and body condition, and assessed tegu distribution. Researchers trapped and removed 17 tegus, fitted six with transmitters, and used camera traps for behavior monitoring. Ongoing research at UF will inform management recommendations. | |||
